Gail is clearly the most savvy folklorist in the country whe it comes to internet web design. Her personal site also shows the kind of work as a professional folklorist she has been doing. Featured here include: Keepsakes and Dreams (HUD-funded community self-documentation project in which recent immigrants wrote stories about cultural keepsakes and dreams for the future), The Epiphany Project (project investigating the question "What do teachers need to help them take advantage of pedagogical opportunities offered by emerging technologies?"), and CARTS: Cultural Arts Resources for Teachers and Students. This is site can be a model for independent folklorists who are considering launching one of their own. You can also see the page she made for her mother, Deener Matthews, who is an innkeeper for a western North Carolina inn called "The Swag."The Peggy Yocom
